11. How to add miscellaneous weight to a model in AutoPIPE Vessel


Problem:

How to add miscellaneous weight during equipment design?

Answer:

Additional weight and loads can be added by selecting the 'Insert' menu and then choosing the 'Load' option

Upon opening the window, you can add loads and moments at specific elevations within the desired load case

Note: AutoPIPE Vessel treats the vessel as a beam element, therefore all applied loads are considered at the center of the vessel, and offset loads cannot be added.
